I went out to collect seeds (I hope) and even cut off a few random pieces, which may or may not grow, what do I know. I even found a poppy, but I didn't want to cut the flower, which seems to me the most likely way to get seeds (but what do I know), so I left it alone.
I put all this in a shallow bowl filled with that expensive rich soil I bought. So I'm sure that there at least, something will grow. That's what weeds do, right?
Anyway... it's something I wanted to do. Now I've done it  |
It is not stupid. Some are really beautiful. The poppy poppies are of an other sort. But you can get the plants from the guys near Pont Neuf. Pink are the most beautiful. They have nice leaves that stay nice also in winter. The seeds, if you toast them are the usual poppy seeds that you can buy in grocery stores.
